History of the Credit MObilier

From Major Poore's Book.
Speaking of the Credit Moblier, the
writer says that very few people knew
what it really was, and perhaps
the same assertion would apply
to-day with sufficient force to war.
rant giving Major Poore's brief
statement OF the scandal and its
origin. Under various acts of
Congress granting aid to the Union
Pacific Railroad that corporation was
to receive 49, 500 acres to the mile, or
about twelve million acres in all, and
goverment6 per cent. bonds, to the
amount oil Sl2, 900 per mile Tor one
portion OF the road, $50, 900 per mile
for another portion, and S4s, 900 per
mile for another. In addition to these
subsidies the company was authorized
to issue it's own first mortgage bonds
to an amount equal to the government
bonds and to organize with capital
stock not to exceed 100000, 600.
All OF this constituted a magnificent
fund, and it soon became evident that
the road could be built for at least
S2O,OO0,000 less than the resources
thus furnished. The directors there
fore set themselves to work to concoct
a scheme whereby they could divide the
surplus among themselves. They de-
termined to become contractors and
build the road for themselves. To
consummate this fraud without excit-
ing pnblic attention and cover all
traces of the transaction was no easy
matter, bot the directors employed an
attorney skilled in the intricacies OF
railroad law. and with his aid the
machinery with which to carry out
this fraud was finally arranged. In
order to avoid personal liability and
give to the undertaking the appear
ance OF legality, thedirectors purchas-
ed the charter OF the Pennsylvania
Fiscal Agency" and changed the name
to the Credit Mobilier OF America"
At that time'1s64, so 900, 600 worth
OF stock had been sui cribed to the
railroad company. and $21S,000 paid
in. After arranging the perliminaries
the directors. through certain middle
men, awarded the contract Tor build
ing the road to the Credit Mobilier, or.
in other words, to themselves, for from
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile more
than IT was worth, making clear
profit OF over $4,000. in addition to
aobbIing the stock of the road at 80
cents on the dollar, when the Law

THE MOOD OF THE CAR.
Why There IL No Need OF Imputluy Insanity to
the Emperor OF Russia.

the Emperor OF Russia.
From the Spectator.
There is not q man in the world
more deeply to be pitied than tne
present emperor OF Russia. The lone
illness OF kings, loneliness naturally
resulting from their place, which hard
ly admits OF friendship, and does not
admit OF equality. is always terrible,
and is frequently felt by themselves so
severely that they break through all
restraints OF prudence and moral law
in order TO be rid OF it. Rather than
not have friends, people before whom
they can disrobe their minds and sit
in mental slippers, they will give. all
power to favorites, or to women who
could be bought without any such sac
ritices OF their states or their subjects.
The loneliness OF car rs absolute
as a Cesar and as swiftly obeyed, so
far above his subjects that Count Toll
stei, in the admirable series OF historic
sketches which he calls "War and
Peace" and issues q novel, describes
mobiles rs lainting with agitation at
the sight OF him, must be almost shock
ing. He is so utterly master, can so
completely and instantly make and
unmake, the hostile exertion OF his
will, il he exerted it, would be so dead.
iy in It's force that he can have no true
al f.ia
He may, like Alexander ii, try to
be bon camerade, or like many cars,
surround himself with mistresses; but
the distance remains always too
great for true friendship, or for any
perfect alienation from society OF

es on the conscience even OF evil
kings. 1t is scarcely possible to be
wholly disinterested with car, lion
ly for the terrible powers his mere
friendshipplaces in your hands, scarce
ly, possible, either, for the czar not
to perceive or to suspect III every SEN
tence uttered some concealed intent.
In any nature such a position must
beaet habtual suspicion; and
when the car is by nature, or has be-
come through cruel experience, gloomy,
reserved and unsocial, the suspic-
iousness must rise into ~ mastering
passion.
Add that the car has been driven by
the Nihilists into life OF almost ut
ter seclusion; that he has reason to
fear for his life at every hour in the
day and from the most unlikely quar-
tiers; that he is deprived OF intimates
by his virtues rs well rs by the dread
he inspires, and that he has no chill
dren Old enough to share his thoughts,
and we may imagine to what heights
suspiciousness may rise in him and
how near to the sources OF fury every
thought may lie.

GatesvilIe Agitated.

GATEsvILLE, March IA large and
enthusiastic railroad meeting was
held by the citizens of Gainesville last
night, looking TO a road from Dallas
via this place to Burnet. The route
as mapped out would run near Waxa-
hachic, Hillsboro, on TO this place, and
pointing TO Laredo or Eagle Pass. 1t
would belt a fine agricultural district,
and be Of great benefit to Dallas and
all intermediate points. A letter was
read from the railroad committee of
Burnett, showing n decided willingness
on the part of the citizens of that
place to cooperate with us. The fol-
lowing committee was appointed to
confer with the various points on the
line to see what can be done: j. II.
Saunde s, f. NJ Gardner, w. f.
Brown, NJ. S. Duflie, Richard Potts
and John Schley. We want Dallas to
take hold in earnest and help us to pull
the measure to some tangible shape.
Our people are greatly in earnest and
we think something good will result
from the meeting last night.

A City of Contrasts.

Although all on one level, New
Orleans is II town of contrasts, says
Mr.. Warner in Harper's Magazine. In
no other city OF the United States OF
Mexico is the old and the romantic

into such sharp contrast to the mod
ern. There are many handsome pub
lie buildings, churches, club houses, ele-
CANT shops, and on the American side
a great area OF we,l-paved streets, sol
idly built up in business blocks. The
square OF the original city, included
between the river and canal, Rampant
and Esplanade streets, which was
once surrounded by wall, Is as close

houses generally are smaller, and al
